Here's my Web2py-driven Python:

    db = current.db
    rows = db().select(db.person.name, distinct=db.person.name)
    for row in rows:
        logging.info('name: %s' % row.name)

This logs all rows from person, listing many duplicate name values.

The equivalent GQL I've tried is:

    rows = gqldb.GqlQuery("SELECT DISTINCT iso31661 FROM geoPt")
    for row in rows:
        logging.info(row._entity['iso31661'])

and this lists each unique name once.

If I have 1,000 rows with 10 unique names then the the first example logs 
1,000 names and the GQL example, 10.

Can anyone help?
